First, let me clear things up. I hope no one fell for my fake news headlines yesterday. They were intended as an Aprils Fool practical joke. So if you did believe it (screw you!), you can go 'phew!' now. They're all made up crap, none of them is true (or maybe...who knows).Lyrics Of The Week

Beautiful song. Heartfelt lyrics. Sometimes I do wonder where my sanctuary is to hide away. This song's like a big warm hug helping you get through neverending nights.Always On Your SideSheryl Crow & StingMy yesterdays are all boxed up and neatly put awayBut every now and then you come to mindCause you were always waiting to be picked to play the gameBut when your name was called, you found a place to hideWhen you knew that I was always on your side

Well everything was easy then, so sweet and innocentBut your demons and your angels reappearedLeavin' all the traces of the man you thought you'd beLeavin' me with no place left to go from hereLeavin' me so many questions all these years

But is there someplace far away, someplace where all is clearEasy to start over with the ones you hold so dearOr are you left to wonder, all alone, eternallyThis isn't how it's really meant to beNo it isn't how it's really meant to be

Well they say that love is in the air, but never is it clear,How to pull it close and make it stayButterflies are free to fly, and so they fly awayAnd I'm left to carry on and wonder whyEven through it all, I'm always on your side

But is there someplace far away, someplace where all is clearEasy to start over with the ones you hold so dearOr are we left to wonder, all alone, eternallyBut is this how it's really meant to beNo is it how it's really meant to be

Well if they say that love is in the air, never is it clearHow to pull it close and make it stayIf butterflies are free to fly, why do they fly awayLeavin' me to carry on and wonder whyWas it you that kept me wondering through this lifeWhen you know that I was always on your side

Prince/ Black Sweat

Super squeaky song! Annoying screeches in the loop as the background music. Prince's squeaky vocals get in your ears from start to finish, telling you to 'work it to the black sweat'. Somehow all of this combined makes one upbeat, funky, weirdly catchy, Outkasty song.

Flashback

Frou Frou/ Let Go

Recently, I've been listening to chillout electronica quite a lot, and this is one of the songs I came across. Featured in the 2004 soundtrack for 'Garden State', the song is just deeply exquisite with breathy vocals and groovy, relaxing tunes. If you haven't heard it yet, I highly recommend it.

Music Video Of The Week

Coldplay/ The Hardest Part

New music video from Coldplay. Directed by Mary Wigmore, the video used a clip from a short-lived 80s program "Attitudes" on the Lifetime Network, and had the band digitally inserted. It featured some what-the-???? aerobics acts with two contestants who have a quite big generation gap. Check it out and you'll know what I mean. Although the video completely, utterly doesn't go with the song at all (the song's mood is supposed to be...moody when the video's actually trying to be comedic), it's still fun and a bit freaky to watch. The great thing is, I have it attached to my post, so you can watch it right here on my blog! Woohoo!
